Brazilian beef containing banned hormones recalled in Ireland

The beef has been recalled by the Food Safety Authority after entering the Irish food chain

Irish Farmers’ Association president Francie Gorman said this confirmation of the banned hormones infiltrating the Irish food system should be a wake-up call for the Irish Government.

Brazilian beef containing banned hormones has officially been recalled by the Food Safety Authority.

It was confirmed this week that beef containing banned hormones had accessed the Irish food chain and was now subject to a recall. The substances are not permitted in Irish or European farming due to health and safety concerns attached to them.
